Pascin, Jules [Pinkas, Julius]. (1885-1930)

Two Southern Scenes

Pair of original watercolor and ink works on paper by the Bulgarian-born American painter, active in France, the "Prince of Montparnasse," strongly identified with the Modernist movement, who struggled with depression and alcoholism and committed suicide at the age of 45. Ernest Hemingway's chapter titled "With Pascin At the Dôme", in A Moveable Feast, recounted a night in 1923 when he had stopped off at Le Dôme and met Pascin escorted by two models.


Both works depicts negroe figures typical of the Southern scenes often depicted by the artist. Stamped by the estate, lower right. Sight size: 6-1/4"h x 3-1/4`w and 5-1/2"h x 5-1/2"w; matted and framed to 8.25 x 11 and 10 x 10 inches. (10537)
